NEO-BABYLONIAN ADMINISTRATIVE 
DOCUMENTS FROM ERECH 


Part I 


BY 
HENRY FREDERICK LUTZ 


INTRODUCTION 


Erech,! the ancient city of southern Babylonia, famed in the greatest 
national epos of the Babylonians as the home of the hero Gilgamesh, 
constitutes the provenance of the material presented in the first part of 
this volume. Here, at Erech, rose the stately Hanna temple, dedicated 
to the goddess Innina, who in the beginning shared the sanctuary with 
the great skygod Anu. At first Innina, according to tradition, though a 
daughter of the moongod Sin, was only a subordinate deity in the 
household of Anu. But she was a favorite of the old skygod, and she 
won for herself a distinctive place in the pantheon, usurping the posi- 
tion of Anu’s spouse Antu, and also that of Ninzalli,? and received 
Eanna as a present. A later age assimilated Innina with Nana, a 
daughter of Anu, and also with Ishtar. 

According to one of the texts,’ it appears that the temple and its 
sacred precincts were even older than the city itself. It may be that 
the same order of development took place here in some of the early 
Babylonian city foundations as occurred later in medieval Europe.‘ 
This tradition concerning Erech may contain a kernel of truth, and the 
city itself may possibly have taken its rise outside the enclosed temple 
precinct of Eanna. If we can believe the ancient tradition, Kanna was 
a considerable stronghold, and its priests and temple serfs men able to 
bear arms, for we read that ‘“‘the kingdom of Kish passed to Eanna.’’® 

The oldest lord of Hanna was a certain Meskin-gasher, whom the 
Babylonians considered to be one of their great national heroes. There 
are indications in the mutilated Pennsylvania text that around this 
hero of Eanna, whom legend had made a son of the sungod, clustered

legends similar to those of Phaéthon, the son of Apollo. His son, I

probably interested himself also in the temple, although no dir 
mention of his building activities at Eanna is made. Hammur 
(c. 2123-2081 B.C.) called himself “the lord who gave life to Erech, Ww 
raised the turrets of Eanna.’!® Even the Kassites did not neglect i

the temple anew.'® In the Grotefend cylinder inscription the king 
narrates: ‘The former distinctions, the ancient cult of Nand of Erech, 
the brilliant mistress of Erech, I restored to their place. To Erech I 
restored its protecting deity, and to Eanna its gracious protector. The 
ancient foundation stone of Eanna I found and examined; above the 
ancient foundation stone I laid its foundation.’’!® 


The last Babylonian king, Nabonidus, also extended to Eanna his 
pious care. In Column III of the Nabonidus stele of Constantinople he 
narrates: “Innina of Erech, the exalted princess who dwells in a 
golden dwelling, who harnesses the seven lions, and whose cult, in the 
reign of Erba-Marduk, the king, the Erechian had suppressed, and had 
torn down her dwelling place, had rent in pieces her harness, and had 
departed in anger from Eanna to dwell elsewhere. A divine being not 
belonging to Eanna was permitted to dwell in her shrine. Innina he 
* appeased, her dwelling he established again, the seven lions, the mark 
of her divinity, he harnessed for her. Innina, however, who did not 
belong here, he led forth from Eanna, and restored. the [real] Innina to 
Eanna.”’ 

The cult of Innina continued through the Persian and Seleucid 
periods, although in the latter period it appears that Anu had somewhat 
eclipsed the worship of Innina in Erech. Together with Borsippa and 
Sippar, Erech appears to have maintained its temple school to the last.?” 


Documents from Erech are available down to the year 139 B.C., 
while other archeological material, such as broken columns, capitals, 
cornices, etc., reaches down to the Parthian period. No systematic 
excavations on a large scale have been carried on, so far, at the ancient 
site. In 1854 Loftus was engaged in excavation at Warka, where he 
had worked somewhat earlier. The ruins of Warka are perhaps the 
largest in all Babylonia. In the time of Loftus they formed a huge 
accumulation of far-stretching mounds. The entire site constituted an 
irregular circle nearly six miles in circumference. In the southwestern 
area of this complex rose Tell Buwériye, a pyramidal mound rising to 
about a hundred feet. This mound represents the zzggurat or stage 
tower of the Eanna temple. 


The present documents, with the exception of three letters, are 
administrative records from the Eanna temple and its various shrines. 
They date over a period of some eighty-six years (625-539 B.C.). 
Although a considerable number of documents similar in type have 
already been published, additional material will always be welcome for

various reasons; foremost, its value for a study, after the supply of 
material has been exhausted, of the relations of the various individuals 
mentioned in the records, as well as of groups of individuals, with one 
another; and its value, also, in an investigation regarding the office- 
holders in Erech and its vicinity during the Neo-Babylonian time. In 
order to proceed with these and similar investigations, it 1s necessary 
that all available documents, including the most fragmentary and 
insignificant, become known. ‘The fortunate circumstance that, for the 
Neo-Babylonian era, we possess a comparatively large number of similar 
documents from Erech, makes a new demand on us; namely, to study 
these records not only with respect to the subject material, but, and 
primarily, with respect to the persons mentioned therein. It is with 
this understanding, and as a contribution to further the purpose men- 
tioned, that the documents here presented are offered. These texts 
also bear witness to their connection with material previously published 
by Dougherty, in his Archives from Erech.!8 Here, as there, notice for 


instance, the repeated mention of Tukulti-‘Marduk,'® son of Kudurru, 


the shepherd of the sacrificial animals of the temple, as well as the names 
of other individuals who are mentioned in both publications. 


Attention should be called to a statement in the interesting letter ~ 


published as No. 2. Here the queen of Nabopolassar is predicated with 
deification. .This case is unique, and, as such, perhaps not too great 
emphasis should be placed upon it. But, at all events, the whole idea 
of deification of men, and especially of women, is so contrary and foreign 
to the religious development within Babylonia at this and the preceding 
period, that this isolated instance seems to point to extraneous influences 
and contamination. One is reminded of the case of Arsinoé Phila- 
delphus, whose deification was a gradual process. This queen was 
made goddess of Mendes in the fifteenth year of Ptolemy Philadelphus’ 
reign, goddess at Thebes in the nineteenth year, goddess at Sais in the 
twentieth year, and the whole process of general deification was probably 
completed in the twenty-first year, when the apomoira were paid to her 
in all the temples of Egypt. Similarly, it seems probable that, owing, 
perhaps, to a special interest taken by the queen of Nabopolassar in 
the Eanna temple and in Erech, a partial or local pronouncement of 
her deification came about as an acknowledgment of her beneficial acts.

TRANSLITERATION AND TRANSLATION OF 
SELECTED TEXTS 


INTRODUCTION 


The succeeding pages contain additional documents from Erech. 
According to their dates they extend from the reign of Kandaldnu 
(648-626 B.C.) to the fifth year of Cyrus the Persian. 


Of special interest and importance are a number of texts which 
deal with the shirkutuship, or temple serfdom (especially text no. 24, 
of which a translation is given on pages 34 to 38). These texts seem 
to indicate that the government took an active interest in the temple 
serfs, whose status, according to text no. 37, was not necessarily per- 
manent. The shirku might be transferred to the class of a bani kabtum, 
becoming thus ezne [ge]wichtige Persénlichkert.
